James B. Fishman

I was seek Succession Rights due to family death. I contacted the landlord presenting proof of death and my entitlement. I was met with bullying, intimidation and rent checks that remained uncashed. I contacted James Fishman and am truly grateful. He is professional and knowledgeable. He has pat...iently listened to my situation and concerns; of which there were plenty. He has always responded promptly. With his vast knowledge he's explained exactly what my rights were as a tenant. His tenacity and hard work resulted in successfully attaining my rights. A great attorney.

James was by far one of the best lawyer I know. When I first talked to him, he was very nice and reassured with our case. He clearly know the law and what he is doing. He also made sure to explain every next steps and keep his following ups to us to make sure we are 100% updated with the case. I coul...d also see him in our first hearing and how confident he was. I'm glad I could find him and we had the best outcome. But in case we hadn't I knew he did his best to make the best deal. Thank you so much.

I found Mr Fishman to be confident and very knowledgeable about the various aspects involved in my Landlord-Tenant case. I definitely felt at ease and James identified areas I had not thought of myself. In addition, James was always available same-day to talk about any concerns I had so he was very... responsive. Bottom-line the outcome was what I hoped for.= in my case so I'm happy.

I recently had the pleasure of utilizing the services of Mr. James Fishman and staff. My landlord, who has been trying to evict me for years, served papers on me right before my birthday and a vacation. I reached out to Mr. Fishman because I had a consultation with him months ago and he advised me ...as to what I should do in the event the papers came. OMG, Mr. Fishman and staff were right on top on things. They kept me up to date of the status of my impending case as things changed. This mean sometimes they reached out to me at least 3 or 4 times during the day. This constant communication reassured me that I had my fate in competent hands. Mr. Fishman not only educate me on some of the case studies he introduced to the landlord's lawyer but I think it's possible the lawyers received a little education too. My case was resolved without me even having to go to court. I could not thank him enough for his services. I hope I do not have to go through this again but if I do, I will definitely call Mr. Fishman again. I highly recommend him and his staff, you will not go wrong. As they say on other websites, "I was not paid to do this review"

James Fishman came highly recommended to me by a friend who had a wonderful, successful experience with him in a case against the same landlord (who was trying to rid the building of rent stabilized tenants). Before meeting with him, I was extremely stressed and did not think I (the little guy) wo...uld be able to fight this fight against the landlord (the big guy) after I received a notice advising me that the lease for my rent stabilized apartment would not be renewed. Within the first five minutes of meeting James, I knew I was in great hands. I could almost hear the Rocky theme song playing in my mind. Having James Fishman in your corner is good on a multiple of levels. In addition to his knowledge and expertise (to name a few of his many amazing professional qualities), his respectable, outstanding reputation speaks volumes. Suffice it to say he is known for being so amazing at doing what he does – the other side’s attorney will more than likely know who he is and that you have muscle on your side. I will not go into the details of the case, but I will say that everyone in his office was top notch – especially Reuben Fuller-Bennett. They both kept me informed every step of the way. They determined which supporting documentation I needed to obtain, and they worked with me to figure out next steps as to how to obtain it. Once it was all gathered, they sent a letter with hundreds of pages of the supporting documents. We did not receive a response for weeks, but I was assured by James and Reuben that this was just the easiest first step and not to worry. Sure enough – a few weeks later I received an email from James with the words “Good News” in the subject line. The landlord would be sending me a renewal lease. Thankfully we did not have to go to trial, but I know if we had that it would have been successful because of James and his team. Suffice it to say that James Fishman came highly recommended to me, and I now know why from my own firsthand experience. I will highly recommend him to those I know, and I highly recommend him to all reading this.
